ACB member, Alan Osbiston very kindly invited fellow ACB members to CPL Aromas, a Fragrance House, to experience the commercial world of aroma, fragrance analysis and creation. We took part in a smelling test to discover how good our sense of smell was (similar to if we were attending a first interview!) – we all failed!. Following a very interesting tour, we then focused on how different hop aromas can be analysed.
